Davis Wiki is mentioned too!:

"Davis didn’t measure bicycle use in the 1960s or 1970s, but, with a share of 30% in 1980, it would be safe to assume the modal share was far higher in the preceding two decades. Legendary landscape photographer Ansel Adams catalogued in a 1966 photo series how the Davis campus once hummed with cyclists. One of his black-and-white photographs shows a parking stand with hundreds of bicycles, students riding to and fro on either side. It’s one of the most unAmerican photographs imaginable."

Davis was the first city in the nation to experiment with and implement the now-ubiquitous bike lane. In 2015, it was the first to introduce the Protected Intersection to the United States. There are now more than 100 miles of bike paths, lanes, and trails inundating the city. Bicycles even outnumber the bipeds in the People's Republic of Davis (take part in the Bicycle Census). This page attempts to be the starting point for all of your bike-related inquiries.

Bicycles have been the normal mode of transportation for UCD students for many years, as seen by this 1966 Ansel Adams photo
